On July 10, Agustín Laje was interviewed on El Doce, where he analyzed the political landscape in Córdoba. He stated that Córdoba is "the most anti-Kirchnerist province in the country" and recalled that it was key to defeating Kirchnerism in 2015 and 2023. He also asserted that Milei will sweep the legislative elections in October.
According to Laje, the province has always been anti-Kirchnerist in national elections. "Córdoba was the only province where Alberto Fernández didn't win in 2019," he said. In that regard, he emphasized that the Córdoba vote strongly expresses rejection of the Kirchnerist model.
For the liberal leader, "Córdoba has something special." He stated that "it has always been the hard core of anti-Kirchnerism."

Milei and Córdoba: a deep political and cultural connection
Laje recalled that Milei chose Córdoba to close his presidential campaign in the second round of 2023. At that event, he appeared for the first time with Patricia Bullrich on stage, consolidating the alliance that later brought him to power. "It wasn't a coincidence; Córdoba is the mecca of anti-Kirchnerism," he concluded.
He also predicted a resounding result in October. "I believe Milei will get more than 50 points in Córdoba. The margin will be spectacular," he asserted.
He highlighted that polls already show a consolidated trend and that no provincial candidate will be able to reversethat difference. "If Schiaretti runs, he has more to lose than to gain," he explained.

From Córdoba to the world: the path of the liberal outsider
During the interview, Laje revealed that, despite having always lived in Córdoba, he had no ties to the local business community or provincial politics. "I'm not friends with anyone in Córdoba's power circles. My growth came from outside," he said.
He said that his projection began on social media and was consolidated from 2017 with conferences throughout Latin America. "Buenos Aires and other countries opened their doors to me before Córdoba did," he recalled.
He also revealed that some local media stopped publishing him because of his criticism of radical feminism. "They told me I couldn't write anymore because of what I posted on my social media. They labeled me a Nazi for dissenting," he reported.

Critic of feminism
True to his direct style, Laje reaffirmed his critical stance against contemporary feminism. "The feminism we saw between 2016 and 2020 was a violent and anti-Christian expression," he stated.
He also questioned the role of Pope Francis, whom he accused of diluting Catholic doctrine and sympathizing with the Latin American left. "He was functional to the anti-market and populist discourse. That's why non-Catholic sectors embraced him," he opined.
He acknowledged that his ideas may not be politically correct, but he maintained that he isn't willing to moderate himself for electoral convenience. "I'm not a politician. I don't act with calculation or opportunism," he emphasized.

A key intellectual in La Libertad Avanza's cultural battle
Despite his distance from Córdoba's political power, Laje is now a central figure in the cultural battle of Argentine liberalism. His closeness to Javier Milei positions him as one of the main promoters of the ideas of liberty.
He is considered an intellectual within the libertarian movement, with strong influence among young people through social media and media outlets. In every intervention, he promotes the defense of order, property, and individual freedom in the face of the advance of the State.
His role in this new political stage is significant. He contributes discourse, arguments, and public presence to a government that is committed to a deep cultural transformation. Meanwhile, Córdoba, as he himself said, is the ideal stage for that battle.
